Felt completely underdressed, but I had a mission - find a bathroom. And wow, what a bathroom. Spotless, futuristic, and probably cleaner than my apartment.
The rest of the mall? Gorgeous. It’s like walking through a luxury spaceship designed by someone who thinks you can afford Dior. Come for the fashion, stay for the facilities.
Omotesando is in the Shibuya and Minato wards of Tokyo, connecting Harajuku to Aoyama. It is easily accessible from Omotesando Station and Meiji-Jingumae Station, making it a central shopping and cultural district.
Visitors can explore luxury stores, visit Omotesando Hills, enjoy specialty coffee at trendy cafes, and admire the unique architecture. Nearby attractions include Meiji Shrine and Takeshita Street, offering a mix of modern and traditional experiences.
Omotesando is beautiful year-round, but autumn is especially stunning when the zelkova trees turn golden. Winter is also magical with Christmas illuminations, and summer is great for exploring cafes and hidden alleys.
From Shibuya, take the Tokyo Metro Ginza, Hanzomon, or Chiyoda Line to Omotesando Station (about 5 minutes). From Shinjuku, take the JR Yamanote Line to Harajuku and walk or take the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line to Meiji-Jingumae Station.
It is located at the middle of the Omotesando. The shop variety however is not as great as the street shops. The good thing about this place is that it provides good toilets for visitors. Good to come by.
This is the posh area home to luxury brands and boutiques. Besides this high end mall, don’t forget to explore the lanes off the main road. Stylish shops are strewn everywhere. Perfect place to learn about Japanese sense of fashion and aesthetics
Love this place. Posh but cozy. My family always finds time to visit whenever we're in Tokyo. High end and eclectic brands have great curated presence here. The mall is laid out uniquely with a continuous ramp that takes one all the way up to the restaurant level. There is a great children's store with nice small playground for young children on basement level. The restaurants above are great mix. Our fave is Kageyamarou Chinese Restaurant though. Everything is well made and the price is still quite reasonable, especially considering its location.
This is probably as commercial as Ando can design for a shopping mall. You don’t really see the signature concrete walls inside the mall, but you can see his iconic angular design.
